He didn't say he had bruised ribs.
From his show:

Exactly. There's only a one minute lapse in surveillance camera video in which the alleged attack was supposed to have happened. Add to that the fact that Smollett is on video after the alleged attack carrying his Subway sandwich, intact. That's just simply not plausible.

He never claimed he had broken ribs. As a matter of fact, he states as much during his show last night.

I do not think he is keeping the phone info from the cops. If you have proof cops still don’t have the requested info, please provide.

Lots of crimes don’t happen in front of cameras.
I never said he had broken ribs.

The proof you're seeking is in the thread and online.

And nobody is saying the crime would be on camera - but the presence of the thugs sure as hell should be on ONE of the camera's they've looked at!!!!!!!

Think, people - this isn't rocket science. If you claim someone went into your home and beat you, and your security cameras show nobody entering or exiting your home during the time you said you were attacked - what do YOU think the truth is???

He got attacked by two big bubbas, a rope put around his neck...punched...they poured bleach on him.... fought them both off...while on the phone with his manager.....picked up his sandwich..put himself back together.....and walked to where the next camera picked him up again

....in less than 1 minute......LOL

None of what you post proves anything. What we DO know is -

  • He claims he was attacked and fought back, yet the only injury is a scratch on his face.
  • He claimed in L.A. he had bruised ribs, but was wearing no shirt when he said that and there weren't any marks on him.
  • He claims he was on the phone with his Manager who clearly heard the thugs say, 'Maga Country' but he won't show the cops the details of the phone call on his cell.
  • 20 cops have spent more than 100 hours combing through all video captured in and around the area and have come up with NO SUSPECTS. Do you think they disappeared in thin air?

All of the above points to one big fabrication.

What you've posted as evidence that he was attacked - also points to one big fabrication.

This is typical of loons on the far left. Irrational and demanding everyone board that train.
He did not claim he had bruised ribs.

I just provided his quote. And I'm not going to repeat it twelve times.

Yeah, as if anyone is supposed to believe any of that. Besides the lack of security camera video to corroborate Smollett's fabrication, it's equally unlikely that redneck bubbas are Chicago inhabitants or winter visitors, and MAGA just isn't a common position held by Chicagoans. They're notoriously Dem. 84% voted for Hillary in 2016.

It’s possibly a fabricated story the producers of Empire came up with to garner publicity for the show and he had to go along with it. Who knows what his contract entails.
If it is a hoax though I don’t think we will ever find out.

Here's the thing. Since there were so many red flags about the attack, since he and his Manager wouldn't show them details about the call, and since cops have dedicated a lot of time trying to find the perps and have come up empty-handed - the attack itself seems bogus.

And because the attack seems bogus, that puts the hate mail into question.

For all we know, his Manager sent the letter or he sent it himself.

Not to mention he was also on the phone. LOL. Sure.
